Hello friends,

How do I change the units of measurement from Inches to centimeters in the
Page Setup of a report ?

Thanks in advance
Pablo

For a quick "guestimate", one inch is about 2 1/2 centimeters.
Even a dictionary has conversion scales you can look up.

Yes, Byte, I know how to convert inches to milimeters, that's not the
problem. What I need is to be able to switch my interface so it will
display exactly what my latin american customers see.
I suspect it's a Windows setting but I don't know how to change it.

This is a function of the Regional and Language settings for your user
account.

Control Panel
Regional and Language Options
On the Regional Options tab, click Customize
in the Measurement System drop down list box, select U.S.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
